I really really  wanted to hate this and I really really didn’t. 
The writing sucks, but i am so hooked.

I listened to the Graphic Audio version because I wasn’t sure if how much I would like this series going in. I’m not sure if my rating would be as high if I actually read it as the writing/dialogue was pretty cringe throughout, but I also love trashy TV so it scratched an itch in that way. None of the characters were likable let alone love-able, not even the Vega twins; however, the world itself is interesting and I like how it incorporated a smorgasbord of fantasy creatures rather just Fae. I knew that bullying would be a central plot point but the events right before the end honestly made me feel sick. I will probably read the next one to see how they get their revenge. 🫣

Harry potter meets avatar meets the omega verse, but spicier. Has a lot of fun tropes with a kinda brutal ending. Will definitely read the next one.

Really not great writing but now I'm invested. Really just hoping the authors learn the proper use of I vs. me in the subsequent books.

A veces es difícil de entender que cuando uno ya no es adolescente es mucho más difícil poder escribir sobre ellos y este libro es la prueba.

It was a nice and quick read that I did enjoy. I do think it started a little fast and there wasn’t a ton of buildup to the school. 

The main characters are lovable, but they need to stop being as gullible. That made parts of it hard to get through. Overall, a fun read and the ending murder did surprise me.
